Kevin backed him up on that point.

I get it.

But. If we don't sign him, didn't Bruce said they were ready to tag him a third time?

Wouldn't that be even more hurtful to our cap?

If not, we saved some cap, great, but what are our options at QB?

I sure hope a blockbuster trade would not be in the range of possibilities...

I think it's unlikely we sign all 11. But regardless of that it's absolutely true that a long term deal, even one that is closer to KC's number than the Skins number would have less consequence than tagging him next year.

Regarding the 11 players in their last year....I think we have potential replacements for many of them already under contract on our roster. Our draft this year did address much of those concerns (CB-Moreau, G/C- Roullier, OLB- Anderson).

True that we definitely don't need to sign all 11 of them !

...

Gawd sign him already...

Yop. Smith cap hit should be 17M, maybe less, so we'd be around 31/34M available.

That's just about the league average:

If Brown and Breeland have shown they put in the effort off an on the field reward them. Then sign a NT or WR RB or G.

I would love to have POE and Brown back then trade back and go speedy WR and Back as well as guard then BPA.
